controlling where a sprite affects another sprite

Right now if your on the platform(branches)

and you press Down Arrow, he will flip upside

down. While Upside down if you press Down and attack

the squirrel will drop down....

this all works, which is great....but its based

on collision....when the squirrel collides with

the branch..var=1...when var=1 make gravity 0,flipsprite

...

if you look at lines 116-124

The issue that the way I have it set up..as soon as I collide with the

branch from underneath and press down it will start doing some wierd stuff....I am not sure how to have the 1 added to the var on when I land ontop of the sprite? even if it has a jump through behavior..

Will this work?

On collision

player.Y < branch.y

now will that affect each ones individual space...right now I have these branches everywhere... is this based off the individual points on the sprites...?

got it to work..thanks your a life savor.

Hey littlestain, so I got it to work but not sure why it works.

Is this based on the height of the sprite in pixels.. my player is 32 by 32....and my branches is 32 by 32...i dont get what Y point this is all going by...is it any y point on the sprite? well not sure why it works...if anyone can clarify line 27...i just want to know why something works.
